Hey, guess what time it is! That's right, it's ... What? Oh. Yes, I suppose it is time for pie, although that wasn't what I was talking about. It's time for another 100% listener questions episode of RetroforceGO! Your pie will have to wait.
Hit the comments with your questions for us this week, pertaining to absolutely anything. We talk about games every week, maybe it would be fun to talk about something else for a change. You know, like pie. Or we can just talk about games, too. You're the ones asking the questions, so make the show whatever you want. Just make 'em good. Ask away and we'll catch you tomorrow!

Mine would have to be Metroid Prime 3.
Also, Amazing!
doubt it
Have any of you played the PS1 game Retro Force? If so is that how you thought of the name Retroforce Go?
Also this is going to make no sense (but what does with a virtual console scale of dolphins and yard sales) but can you all shout as loud as possible "Girders = Cheese YOSH!" - It's an inside thing lol.
Thanks for answering and I'd like to announce I've got a plan to post a video when episode 100 comes around.
Are there any Squaresoft or Enix characters who are not Final Fantasy characters that you would like to see as bonus characters in Final Fantasy:Dissidia?
Super Mario, part 2 (you stopped with Super Mario World in the last one...)
2. Which game is better that you guys never thought would come out; Mega Man 9, or the Mother 3 fan translation?
3. Since Chad gets to swim with dolphins, what animal would the rest of the crew like to frolic around with?
4. If you had get rid of 1 game from your favorite retro gaming franchise what would it be (you can't say the CDi Zelda games)?
5. Have any of you played the SNES remake of the original NES Legend Of Zelda? BS Zelda no Densetsu: look it up.
As for games, I recently watched a video of Street Fighter II HD Remix and was severely disappointed. Though the graphics were all nice and shiny, the animation was just clunky. With 16-bit graphics the animation is pretty good, but it just didn't translate well with these updated sprites. My question is: If you answered marshmallow sandwiches above, should I dip them in melted chocolate or go all Jackson Pollac on them?
Footnote:
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Combine all ingredients into a pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches 170 degrees then remove from heat and let sit for thirty minutes. Move mixture into plastic container and let chill overnight. The next day, pour mixture into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions. Servers 1 quart of retromazing.
Recipe based off of: Good Eats: Serious Vanilla Ice Cream
Also Topher, Which version of Ikaruga should I get? Import the Dreamcast version, find a Gamecube copy, or buy it off XBLA?
More questions when I think of 'em.

The idea of that episode would be having you guys talking about today's games but form the future, like what kind of games would you think will be considered retro in 100 years or more. I think it would be an awesome episode and a chance of hearing you amking some funny plays with tons of freedom.
Mischief makers, Love or hate?
I'm playing through Earthbound right now (I beat it as a kid and now I wonder how I had the attention span to do it) and I wanna hear the RFGO team talk about it.
What were your favorite parts?
How does Mother 3 compare to it?
Did any of you go mad having to wait three minutes to get in the waterfall?
That being said, I look forward to hearing this episode and all the crazy questions that will be asked. Also...
Happy Halloween everyone.
Have you guys received your t-shirts yet? I got an email saying my order was delayed several weeks because it was back-ordered. :( :( :(
And my real question: Have you ever bought a game on a digital distribution service like the Wii Virtual Console, even though you already own the physical cartridge? And I suppose the opposite applies as well; have you ever bought the cart after downloading? I seem to have this strange obsession with owning the physical media even when the download is cheaper, and most of the time, looks better pumped through high-def cables on my HDTV.
How epic on a scale of 1 - 10000?
also
Since Halloween is practically round the corner
What is your favourite retro game to play at Halloween?
my question is, have you ever been given a a random game from your parents and you had no idea what type of game it was but when you played it, it turned out to be one of the most awsome games you have ever played?
mine was ranger x for the sega genesis .....
p.s.
i love you guys and im good friends with senisan and its hilarous to hear his name on this...
cant go a week without you guys :) :) :) :) one for each of you
Which three final fantasies would you choose if you could only play three of them for the rest of your life
What's your favorite earthbound enemy?
If the was a retroforce equivalent to singsterling what would it be?
If all of you got transported into a video game, who would be the hero, villian, person who dies partway through the game , hero's love interest and quirky sidekick who annoys you but you secretly love to death?
1. Have you guys ever seen the video game shows from the early 90s like Video Power or Gamepro TV?
2.When the next generation of consoles come how do you think they will deal with all of the downloadable games that we all have on our PS3s, 360s and Wiis?
3. Chad what do you think of having armored dolphins in Red Alert 3?
Also how is Dyson?
in your opinions, what has to happen for a game to be "retro"? Is it just the passage of time, so in 20 years you guys will be talking about GTA4 and Halo3?
Is it sensibility? Like Mega Man 9, despite being a new game plays and has all the trappings of the classics?
or is it personal? is retro reserved for just the games that you grew up with and remember playing?
or is it something else entirely?
what makes a game "retro" for you?
Chad: Would you kill a baby dolphin in front of its parents to save the rest of the cast of RFGO from a horrible fate?
Colette: You're a big fan of RPGs, and I was wondering about whether a good story is still good when the translation is butchered. Is it or isn't it?
Topher: What's the worst shooter you've ever played?
Stella: We (the faithful listeners) know everyone else's favorite game, but what's yours?

2)Do you guys have any idea how to "deal" with a douchebag roommate? As I type this I can hear him yelling at his girlfriend over Skype how "cool" we think he is at college, please help.
3)Pie?
If you could have any song from video gaming become you're personal theme song and play during key moments of you're day to day affairs, which would you choose?
Also:
Best title ever?
Chinese food or Italian food?
Last if you could pick a game that you personally would want in the destuctoid gauntlet contest, what would it be?
I choose you CHAD!
Which raises the question, who's who in this picture?
When I was younger I stayed over at a friend's house, I ended up playing Mario Tennis so long, when I peeled my eyes from the screen, the sun had already risen. I don't even like tennis, but something kept me glued.
Thanks for responding to my email the other week!! Heart/smiley faces (as inspired by Chad) for all the Retroforce crew: :) <3
Also, going from what I heard from Podtoid Aaron Linde LOVES Earthbound, so he might be a good guest too (as well as Anthony Burch). I don't mind if the episode is 8 hours long.
